Christmas Day

Well we've made it through Christmas. Lucy has consistently shown that she could care less about opening gifts. It's so funny, she's been noticably absent during three different gift opening sessions. She's really not that into toys. She does love her new flashlight and her paints. I love all her new clothes especially the ones that are the next size up. I rarely have to buy her clothes and when I do it's normally just the add-ons (turtle necks, socks). Occasionally I can't resist a little Hanna A. and random pirate shirts but for the most part I don't blow any budget on Lucy's clothes.

Lucy had a very hard drop off at daycare this morning. I felt so sad for her, it was about the hardest drop off ever. Sometimes she cries but I can tell it's more of the "this situation is not under the control of Lucy the Queen" type of cry. This morning it was very sad crying. Hopefully once we get back into a post-holiday routine she'll readjust.

That is THE best grandma pic I have ever seen! lolLucy still rules as ultra-cutie and I hope daycare drop offs get easier. I start work at the end of January and can;t even imagine how I'll be without her those hours... sigh.

About Me

I adopted my daughter Lucy from Ethiopia in 2005. I am a single mom. I am also a social worker and a human being. Most days it goes in that order; mom, social worker, human being. Wouldn't want to change the mom thing for the whole world. Please click to link to my old blog for a tour of the Ethiopian adoption process, and the first year or so of Raising Lucy
